This is humiliating.
A scornful laugh escaped her lips, and tears started to fall from her eyes.
However, Jacqueline wasn't ready to give up yet. She continued to argue, “Even so, do you really not care about the
Thompson Group at all? You've been managing the company for so many years, so I don't believe that you don't
have even a hint of attachment to it.”
“I don't,” Shane answered without hesitation. “Whatever attachment I had for Thompson Group was gone the
moment I found out about the truth. That's why it's fine for me even if the company goes bankrupt. With my
capabilities, it's not a problem for me to start a company that's better than Thompson Group.”
That's true.
And Jacqueline had nothing to say about it.
So he's really willing to watch Thompson Group go bankrupt instead of marrying me.
“Haha...” She let out a scornful laugh because she knew that all her efforts were for nothing.

“Don't worry. I won't be doing anything for now because I don't have sufficient evidence regarding some matters.
So in the meantime, I'll have you locked up somewhere. I'll only decide what to do with you once I have all the
evidence I need,” he replied.
“Some matters? Such as?” Jacqueline asked.
Is it about Natalie or his parents?
She couldn't tell what was on his mind, and it sent her into a panic.
However, Shane did not answer her question. “I'll have Silas bring you somewhere after this. You'll be spending your
time there until we gather enough evidence.”
“You're going to lock me up?” The woman hopped off the bed and added, “You can't do this to me, Shane. My
great-grandpa wouldn't agree to this.”
“The Gunn family are being oppressed by the Garcia family. So they won't have the time to care about you,” he
answered indifferently.
As if she had lost all her energy, Jacqueline fell onto the floor with a thud as she said, “How is that possible? Why
would the Garcia family do that to the Gunn family?”
Still, Shane didn't answer her question and merely stared at her with cold eyes. “You better watch out from now
on.”
With that, he turned and left.
At the sight of him leaving, she quickly chased after him and begged, “Please don't go, Shane. I was wrong. I admit
to my mistakes now. Please, Shane...”
Yet, Shane ignored her and told Silas to close the door once he was out.
Her shouts and pleas were then blocked off by the door.
“Send her to the Graham family's villa and arrange a few men to watch the place. Call me if anything happens,” he
said as he rubbed his temples.
“Alright.” Silas nodded.
After he left the place, Shane drove to the kindergarten.

The man bent down and picked Sharon up. “Have you been a good girl today?”
“Yep. I even got awarded a sticker.” As she spoke, she took out her sticker and showed it to him.
Shane's glumness was swept away in an instant, and a smile appeared on his face. “That's great, Sharon.”
The girl started to giggle after being praised.
Of course, Shane hadn't forgotten about Connor and asked him a few questions as well.
However, the questions he asked were about the high school curriculum instead of the boy's performance in
kindergarten.
Seeing that Connor could answer his questions with ease, Shane nodded in satisfaction.
“Daddy, I'm hungry,” Sharon said as she rubbed her belly.
“Then I'll bring you both to get something to eat,” he said while carrying Sharon in one arm and holding Connor's
hand. After they got into the car, he drove to the nearest restaurant.
The little girl seemed unhappy after their meal.
After fastening the seat belt for her, Shane asked as he caressed her hair, “What's wrong?”
“She misses Mommy,” Connor answered. “She's always like that when she misses Mommy.”
Upon hearing that, Shane started to estimate the time overseas and smiled after a moment. He then pulled out his
phone and invited Natalie to a video call.
